Is this the car that the seller won't honour the warranty? They probably kept the money for the warranty instead of passing it on to the warranty company? And did the seller do the MOT? Was the seller called Arthur Daley by any chance?
 
I was buying some groceries just now and saw the following on Tesco's website:

One of the diet drinks is unavailable and they advise you to substitute with a pack of condoms. It seemed an odd substitution , but then I wondered whether they were suggesting that instead of the diet drink one should pursue one's intimate life with a bit more vim and vigour and burn off some calories that way. It's noteworthy that it is the 'vanilla' flavour which is recommended for substitution in this way, so they're clearly not urging any activities which are too esoteric or spicy.

My MOT testing station had to get rid of a tester a couple of years back who was passing cars in Folkstone, depite the fact that the garage he tests at is in Poole.
Think his licence was revoked anyway, but he had the cheek to threaten the owner of the garage with court action if he didn't give him redundancy pay!
As all an MOT tester needs, or needed, to do is enter the details on his card into a pooter he can do it all over the internet.
The chickens are slowly coming home to roost.
This is impossible with the latest testing equipment as it all connects directly up to VOSA as the test is being carried out.

Ive had a tester who was blind as a bat & missed loads of things to the point I had to supervise his tests an send him to
back to resit his ticket. He missed broken springs, miss sized/ twisted tyres & brake pipes bla bla shocking tbh.
Then I had another tester mot my Rs turbo & put an oil leak as an advisory :mad::mad: It was show condition you could eat your
dinner off it I was livid & when I chinned him he said its an old car I need to put something for vosa, wrong pal find another job. lol

Series just been run again on one of the freeview channels. I knew a lad who was a brickie and he was in a squad of lads who were multi trade and had worked as a team in Germany…he said the series was about right on with the experience they had. Always thought it was an interesting look at life from then for a certain group. I’m sometimes having the thought that back then might have been a better time than what we have at the minute. Who knows but all I know is life seemed to be a bit more fun back in the day. Who knows, might look back in 20 years to now and think it was all sunshine and rainbows just now 😂

I left school in 1972 and got married for the first time in 1981. To me the 70s were the best decade ever. I may have been skint a lot of the time but I don't think I could have had quite so much fun if I had been born even 5 years earlier or later.
Life was simply freer then. The threats of orrible diseases like AIDS etc just weren't around yet all the plus sides were there.
But although I always managed to find a job or go to uni on a full grant I know a lot of others lived through terrible times then financially.
Both me and the wife think that we were lucky to have been born in the tranche of age that we were. We feel sorry for our grandkids, they seem to be having it far tougher,

It’s the 80’s and early 90’s for me I suppose mid 90’s on didn’t like it much. 70’s for me was growing up in Rhodesia and it was a bit ropey if you were white. Place had a few problems to say the least, folks could see what was coming. It’s cold up here tonight so I says to my mum ‘ why did you leave Africa and her warm nights’ can’t post her reply, the old devil. Don’t have much complaints about life now, except today mind…poked a hole in the sill of my Toyota hilux…it’s about a foot long..on either bloody side too 🤬 I hate welding. My next project for a few weekends 🤷‍♂️
